"Su Rui, what does this Zhizheng Tongbao mean?" Zi Yang flicked the ancient coin in his hand, and played with it between his fingers like the old man surnamed Ge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info didn't expect to see that the old man play with ease, but he couldn't catch it well, and the coins kept falling and rolling on the floor.

In the past two days, Zi Yang has been idle and has nothing to do, so he runs to Su Rui's office to pass the time. Recently, the second floor has suddenly deserted, and no one has come for several days.

Ziyang is not like Lao Wang, who runs to the lobby below at every turn to mess with Xiaoli and others, and those students who also work part-time always make fun of him and call him "building chief".

Hearing Zi Yang's inquiry, Su Rui stopped typing on the computer, picked up the ancient coin rolling under his feet and handed it to Zi Yang, "Zhizheng Tongbao is a copper coin issued by Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty during the period from Zheng to Zheng, although the number is not much, but the varieties are divided into many categories, the front is dignified and beautiful Chinese characters are written in regular letters 'Zhizheng Tongbao', and the style on the back is slightly different." Wear the Mongolian text for Yin, Mao, already, noon five earthly branch years, wear some without words, some are written with two or three capitalized Chinese characters, a total of three grades, commonly known as five years, three and fifteen grades. “

Su Rui turned over the ancient coin in Ziyang's hand and showed him, "The number of ancient coins of this type of Zhizheng Tongbao is relatively rare, the back of this one in your hand is wearing the Mongolian text 'Yin', and the Chinese character is 'three' on the bottom, which is a beautiful product in terms of appearance, and the price is not low, at least a few thousand yuan a piece." ”

Su Rui said a lot of ancient coin terms, and Zi Yang didn't understand most of them, but when he heard that this ancient coin cost thousands of yuan, he hurriedly held it in his hand carefully, "So expensive?" Why didn't you say it earlier, I almost lost it...... Where did you get it? Why do they each have such a one? ”

Su Rui smiled and said, "This ancient coin in your hand was handed over to me by that senior in Hong Kong and used as a token to meet them. The customers who come here on the second floor of us belong to the same small circle, and this circle implements a member invitation system, except for the founding members, everyone else can only join through the invitation or the introduction of senior members, and each new person will receive such an ancient coin. “

Ziyang nodded, "No wonder you have to let me show the copper coin every time we meet." It turns out that this is the connector code! ”

Su Rui continued: "The people in this circle come from all over the world, all over the world, many people don't know each other, this ancient coin is equivalent to a token, everyone knows that they are insiders when they look at this token. “

Zi Yang asked: "Then I have this ancient coin in my hand, which means that I am a person in the circle?" ”

Su Rui nodded: "Seeing things is like seeing people, so this copper coin will only be handed over to the most trusted person around you." Don't look at it as just a copper coin, there is a lot of knowledge in it, these ancient coins are divided into grades according to the different patterns on the back - this ancient coin in your hand is not low in the circle! ”

Ziyang was stunned when he heard it, "So complicated? What kind of circle is this? It's mysterious, it's the same as an underground organization! ”

Su Rui didn't answer him directly, but tilted his head and asked him, "What do you think?" “

Zi Yanghu asked, "Don't you know either?" ”

Su Rui shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. I was just entrusted by someone to know the origin of this ancient coin and the rules inside, but the specific situation is not clear. Among the three of us, you, me, and Lao Wang, you have the most contact with them, have you seen any doorways? ”

Zi Yang scratched his head and said, "I can't guess, I see that these people are all three-minded, everyone has them, some like nouveau riche, some like teachers, some like bosses, and some like rags...... They never gossip with me, and I never ask random questions - but the old man surnamed Ge came almost every time, and I think he looks upright, so he shouldn't be a bad person, right? ”

Su Rui nodded, and turned the computer screen to Zi Yang, "I just found his information, you can also take a look, this person is not small!" ”

Zi Yang turned his head to look at it, and saw a picture of a person on the browser page, which was a photo of the old man surnamed Ge Na, but it should have been relatively early when he took this photo, and the old man Ge on it looked younger, although he had small eyes, he had the same mental strength.

Next to the photo, there are a few lines of character introduction:

Ge Weidu, Professor Emeritus of XX University, historian, collector, connoisseur of antiques, senior consultant of XX Museum......

Looking at the large list of titles in the back, Zi Yang's head was dizzy, "This, this resume, better than our principal!" This old man doesn't look amazing, and his outfit is no different from the old man and lady on the street, I didn't expect to have such a big background! ”

Su Rui nodded, "Xiao is hidden in the wilderness, big is hidden in the city, this Professor Ge Weidu is quite low-key in the public eye, and his information is almost impossible to find on the Internet, but he is a famous name in the collection world, and the industry respectfully calls him the pavilion old - the pavilion that goes out of the pavilion and enters the photo." Pavilion elder is the Ming and Qing dynasties' honorific title for cabinet scholars, just from this nickname, how lofty his status in the industry is. ”

Zi Yang suddenly realized, "No wonder they call him Ge Lao Ge when they greet him, I thought it was Lao Ge's meaning!" ”

Su Rui smiled mysteriously: "Now you know what this circle is for, right?" ”

"You mean, they're people in the antiques world?" In fact, when he saw Ge Weidu's information, Ziyang probably understood it in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it at the first time.

Su Rui looked noncommittal: "I'm just guessing, I haven't been in contact with them, and the Hong Kong boss hasn't told me - but my thoughts are similar to yours, they should all belong to the circle of antique literary toys." ”

"No wonder a few times the people who came still carried large bags and small bags, could it be that they were all antiques? They—they're not going to do anything reselling cultural relics in the store, are they? It's—it's a crime! Ziyang said in shock.

It's a bit of a big deal! If this really involves the resale of cultural relics or something, then he can't escape from Su Rui and Lao Wang, he really hides a lot, or accidentally gets covered in. Inadvertently become a part of a criminal gang!

And judging from the level of this ancient coin in his hand, his status in this gang is not low......

Seeing Zi Yang's nervous appearance, Su Rui couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't make a fuss, not everything can be called cultural relics - collections that have been registered and excavated by the state are called cultural relics." Or a collection purchased from an antiquities store, also called an artifact.

The collections in the hands of the common people belong to the folk collection of art, not cultural relics, and can be freely bought and sold, and do not require any qualifications. If you have any valuable collections, you can even get an auction company or an art management company to help you auction and trade them publicly. These are state-supported.

I guess this old man is an authoritative connoisseur in the circle, and some of them use the collection collected by the people to verify the authenticity of the collection for him, or ask him to help set the price. Others simply take out their collections to appreciate and play with each other. Of course, there should be some private transactions, but as long as they don't violate the laws of the country, then it has nothing to do with us......"

When Zi Yang heard Su Rui say this, his hanging heart finally let go, and he exaggeratedly covered his chest with his hands and said, "That's good, that's good, scare me!" It's not that I'm making a fuss, you see that they always look like thieves when they do things, and they are looking at codes and tokens. I went, and for a while I really thought I was part of some mysterious organization......"

Su Rui grinned and said, "You are a person, you just have a lot of eyes, and you always feel that others want to harm you." Do antique collection, a collection often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, of course, be careful, Chinese don't have an old saying, called wealth does not show rich! ”

"It's not, look at that bald brother, covered in gold and silver, I'm afraid that others won't know that he is rich!" Zi Yang deliberately raised the bar with Su Rui, and the "angry" Su Rui glanced at him, "I can't talk about you, stop talking!" ”

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside, "Boss, I'm back!" It was Wang's voice.

"Come in!" Su Rui got up and said.

Lao Wang pushed the door in, holding a delicate small wooden box in his hand, and shouted when he entered the door, "Lao Li, you are also here-Xiao Su, you asked me to bring back the things for you." ”

Su Rui took the small wooden box and said with a smile: "It's hard, it's hard!" ”

Lao Wang wiped his sweat and said, "What kind of valuable things are here?!" ”

Su Rui didn't answer him, and gently put the small wooden box on the table and opened it, only to see that there were two wooden kegs lying inside, one white and one blue. It was also printed with delicate patterns, and a string of English letters that they couldn't read.

Su Rui carefully unscrewed the lid of the barrel, and Ziyang and Lao Wang leaned over curiously to look, only to see that the barrel was stuffed with black beans, and it smelled of burnt smell.

"Coffee beans?" Lao Wang said in wonder, there are a lot of such coffee beans in the lobby downstairs, and both of them have seen them.

Su Rui nodded, "It's coffee beans." ”

Lao Wang looked disappointed, "What kind of treasure am I, just such a thing causes me to run back and forth for a few hours......"

Su Rui said: "This is not an ordinary roasted coffee bean, this is the authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, the production of this kind of high-quality coffee beans in the origin is very rare, it is not available in the circulation market, and most of them are booked by the royal family and the rich - such coffee, a cup of coffee costs a few hundred yuan." ”

Lao Wang was so frightened that his tongue stuck out: "My mother, this small cup of coffee is worth my living expenses for a month!" Who would drink such a thing? ”

Zi Yang also wondered: "Our store is going to start a high-end business?" But that's not enough! ”

Su Rui shook his head and smiled: "This is not for customers to drink, but for a friend." He has a peculiar taste, likes to drink coffee, and only drinks this superb Blue Mountain coffee. ”

"What friend is so honorable? I also want to make friends with people who drink a few hundred dollars for a cup of coffee. Lao Wang said with a shy face.

Su Rui said, "It's the real owner of this store." ”

Zi Yang was stunned, "The Hong Kong boss is back?" When did you come? ”

Su Rui smiled and said, "It's been many days, you should also have the impression that it was the day Ye Zhiqiu was beaten!" ”

Zi Yang remembered, that night they came to the coffee shop to investigate, and chatted with Xiaoli and Brother Chic for a while, after Brother Chic left, Su Rui also said that he was going to pick up people at the airport, at that time he was still wondering who was so important, but he didn't expect it to be the authentic owner of this store.

Lao Wang said, "Oh, why didn't the big boss say hello when he came?" Let's go and see our brothers! ”

Su Rui said, "He is a relatively low-key person, he has been living in the Four Seasons Hotel during this time, and he usually doesn't see outsiders, and I haven't even seen him a few times - but he will come to the store tomorrow, and you will have to pick him up when the time comes." ”

"Yes, mission guaranteed!" Lao Wang said with his chest puffed out.

"By the way, Ge Weidu will also come tomorrow." Su Rui looked at Zi Yang and said.

Zi Yang nodded, the big boss and the elder came over together, it seems that tomorrow is an important day.

He is also very curious, who is this Hong Kong boss who has always been in sight? I can have a close relationship with Professor Su, and I can buy such an expensive industry in H City, drink a cup of Blue Mountain coffee for a few hundred yuan, and I am a big promoter of the mysterious antique circle.

What kind of character is such a behind-the-scenes boss with a complex background and strange behavior?
